Saturday we went to I.C.E. bright and early. Truth...I wanted the swag bag. Happy to report I got one. The sun came out to play and it had a field day on my white skin. It was quite toasty. There were so many beautiful booths, I'll give you my favorites. The best part of the day was running in to some folks. It was lovely to meet you Brandi! I also got to see Jinah, Kate and Andy, Bethany and Fredo, Sally and Chris (we lost you somehow!), Christy and Ashley, and I'm sure I forgot someone! Rachel met us up there which was such a treat! We had Ted's for lunch. Mmmmmmm.
I bought several cards from her. Some faves:
My favorite card is not in her shop. It says, "Some people make me want to throw up." Funny, right?
Rachel is someone I met at Anthropologie and she is a total trip! So creative and fun. I bought a giftie for a friend...
She had some amazing terrariums with moss, rocks, and tiny gnomes. Looked like this:

Ever since Charlotte's Web, I've been really enamored with county fair blue ribbon winners! Wouldn't you just love to win a blue prize ribbon??? I would like to have the perfect apple pie or maybe win a chili cook off. Well, my Mama Lou was a blue prize winner for her embroidery. I can tell you first hand that her embroidery is perfection. Not one loose thread or jaggedy edge. So beautiful. I put the first prize winning embroidery in my living room on either side of my green star. Aren't they perfect there? I think so. Very inspirational, and I can feel her spirit when I look at them...
